Barcelona goalkeeperVictor Valdes has reminded club bosses that he will leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.

And the Spanish international also revealed that he will be seeking a fresh challenge away from La Liga.

With six Primera Division titles under his belt during his time with Los Cules, not to mention the three Champions League crowns he has also picked up, the 31-year-old has played a vital role in the club's rise to the top of the European game.

However, while a number of colleagues, including the likes of Andres Iniesta, have publicly stated that they have tried to persuade Valdes to remain in Catalunya, Valdes has once again declared that he believes his time with Barcelona has come to an end.

"My time here is done," the goalkeeper told Spanish television channel Antena3.

"They offered me the chance to renew [my contract] but my decision had been made.

"I am seeking new challenges. I want to play in another league and be with my family in another place.

"But this season I have still been feeling the love and support of the people and that is greatly appreciated."

Valdes has spent his entire career with Barcelona and broke into the side in the 2002-03 season under Dutch coach Louis van Gaal.
